Ta có: \(\dfrac{3}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{6}{y}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)

<=> 3(\(\dfrac{1}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{y}\) ) = \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)

<=> \(\dfrac{1}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{y}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{12}\) (1)

Mặt khác: \(\dfrac{1}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{y}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{16}\) (2)

Trừ (2) cho (1) vế theo vế ta được:

\(\dfrac{1}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{y}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{x}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{y}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{12}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{16}\)

<=> \(\dfrac{1}{y}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{48}\) <=> y = 48

Thay y =48 vào (2) ta có: \(\dfrac{1}{x}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{48}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{16}\)

<=> \(\dfrac{1}{x}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{24}\) <=> x = 24

Vậy x =24 ; y =48
